Has Americas perceived freedom cost every other nations theirs?

Answer 1

there is an intersting book by Noam Chomsky, a well known and respected researcher in politics and linguistics. the book is called "Failed States", and in it he argues that the USA, while throwing around the label of failed state at anybody who disagrees with them, is actually the greatest failed state of all. it is unable to support the most basic democratic institutions, behaves as a rogue in relation to the international community, and it is unable to provide safety and security for its own citizens.

Chomsky argues, convincingly and depressingly, that the USA has peristently maintained a concerted international effort to stymie and halt the development of what he calls "independent democratic liberal nationalism". basically any country that starts to develop its own independent attitude and democratically representative democracy, the USA thwarts. this policy has been clear and consistent going back to the early part of the 19th century with the military actions undertaken against the indian population of Florida and their subsequent extermination. More recent examples include Nicaragua, Panama, Chile, Argentina, Haiti, Cuba (with limited success) the D.R., Honduras, Salvador, Guatemala, Columbia, Iran, Russia, Vietnam and the Koreas, Indonesia and East Timor, Cambodia, the Filipines, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Palestine, and most recently Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan, just to name a few.

with great consistency, when these countries have begun to develop any serious level of self-determination and independnece, the US has lent its weighty support to the forces of oppression and tyranny, with a devastating effect on the peoples of these countries and their economies. meanwhile the government of the USA usually manages the propaganda campaigns at home such that they can convince the bulk of their own citizens that they are fighting for democratic and economic development around the world.

you are right to speak of Americas "perceived" freedom. I don't know if I would say that there is very much freedom in the United States. there are a lot of material goods for people to chase after to distract them from the lack of democracy and freedom, that's for sure, but the country is full of downtrodden, poor, oppressed people who have little or no grounds for any real hopes for their future.

On the other hand every human being was born free and nobody can take that away or give it to anybody. it is the natural and inalterable state of humankind, regardless of circumstance and condition.

Is freedom and democracy suitable for each united states of america? See, your first mistake is thinking at the same time. this is not approximately countries, this is approximately persons. So what if a united states of america is doing sturdy, does it actually matter variety if each and all of the human beings of that united states of america are effectively slaves? what's the earnings of being a effective united states of america, no remember if that's basically enjoyed with the aid of the few ruling elite who govern stated countries? What your question could extremely ask is, "Is freedom and democracy suitable for each guy or woman".
